Thorens TD170 turntable

Years ago, after helping a friend move two or three times, I found myself packing up his Thorens turntable yet again, I asked him when are going to get rid of this thing?, you never use it. His reply was pretty funny, ?I never know when I might want to listen to an album!? He had owned that old Thorens turntable for years and showed no signs of wanting to get rid of it. Which I suppose is very telling of Thorens build quality, since 1883 Thorens has built some of the most highly regarded turntables around, from budget models all the way up to exotic TD 2030.

If you’d like a turntable that will offer some of that same longevity, I’d recommend the Thorens TD170, the TD170 is a belt driven, automatic table that supports 33, 45, and 78 (with optional Ortofon S78 stylus) RPM. Other features found on the TD170 include magnetic anti-skating, all aluminum patter and an electronic controlled DC motor.
